  3. It applies it well because work should be prioritized in a product backlog on an ongoing manner, based on value.
  4. It applies it poorly because a burn-up chart should be used where the amount of work changes.
  1. It applies it poorly because a safe-to-fail experiment is NOT designed for determining risk probabilities.

  3. It is suitable because the development of the change control approach should be collaborative and include the views of stakeholders.
  4. It is unsuitable because a change control approach is redundant if Brand-u-Like wishes to become more agile.
  1. Brand-u-Like need to ensure that the agile ways of working documented in the quality management approach will achieve the appropriate level of quality.
  2. This objective corresponds to the reputation Brand-u-Like has for producing work to a high level of quality.
  3. All of Chesterton’s requirements are driven by the high standards needed by food production regulations.
  4. When working in basic agile environments a lot of emphasis should be placed on quality planning during the initiation stage.

  4. Adjust the benefits from both campaign approaches and adjust the risk that the sales forecasts may be inaccurate.
  1. Generating increased cheese sales will give the project board early confidence in the ongoing business case viability.
  2. Publishing of the social media and newspaper advertisements allows rich communication with potential customers.
  3. Delivering all three campaigns would have reduced testing and increased the risk of errors in the advertisements.
  4. Focusing on the critical requirements allows the Marketing Team to collaborate more effectively during the timebox.
  1. There will be confusion from customers at the International Cheese Festival if the campaign does not advertise the cheeses accurately.
  2. The impact of each marketing campaign needs to be established early in the project to generate enquiries.

  3. Team members should remain unchanged throughout all stages of a PRINCE2 Agile project.
  4. Brand-u-Like will benefit from the trainee being able to learn about Chesterton’s business and the agile way of working.
  1. It applies the target poorly because requirements should be broken down and prioritized in order to deliver on time to quality.
  2. It applies the target well because the CSME has confirmed that the customer needs all three campaigns to be delivered.
  3. It applies the target well because the level of quality should be reduced to deliver the campaigns before the International Cheese Festival.
  4. It applies the target poorly because the decision to deliver all three campaigns should have been taken collaboratively with the team.
  1. Ensure that a prototype is delivered in the first timebox, integrating the new branding with zero time tolerance.
  2. Ensure that an initial forecast to exceed the time tolerance in this timebox is escalated to the project manager.
  3. Ensure that if Web&Go can only deliver the rebranding in the timebox then this is escalated to the project manager.
  4. Ensure that this timebox only includes the rebranding with the other requirements included in later timeboxes.

  4. Estimate the effort needed to design each of the three requirements in the first timebox.
  1. It tailors the theme poorly because a high level requirement to create a customer account/login should have been used.
  2. It tailors the theme well because a best-case and worst-case scenario business case should be produced.
  3. It tailors the theme well because the best-case scenario includes the delivery of all of the specified requirements.
  4. It tailors the theme poorly because the project board should focus on the expected-case most likely to be delivered.

  3. The staff really liked the atmosphere of the new premises.
  4. Dispatching cheese was more complicated across both old and new sites.
  1. Ability to work iteratively and deliver incrementally’ because moving each production line individually will enable learnings to be applied to other lines.
  2. Flexibility on what is delivered’ because there are many requirements that need to be met when moving premises allowing flexibility in what is delivered first.
  3. Flexibility on what is delivered’ because each production line will be tested to make sure it meets the requirements as soon as it has been moved.
